§ Grounds Conclusion
Superseded
It is not that these arguments are merely frivolous in themselves
– frivolous in the extreme to every impartial eye
that looks at them: they were frivolous, and as frivolous
as it is possible for arguments to be – in the eyes
of the very persons by whom who thus make use of
them. Can even this be a matter of doubt – if
the fact were susceptible of doubt exposed – if there own notorious
frivolousness was not a sufficient proof of the appearance
they can not but was to in every eye without exception –
that looks at them: the very circumstance of the
company in which they are found – and the rank coupled with that of
in which they are placed would of itself be abundantly sufficient.
The leading argument – the argument placed
in the front of the battle is the argument from the delay
– the argument by which the length of a course
of injury male practice is brought adduced by way of justification of the consummation
of it: the more flagrant their own caring, the
stronger their plea for being allowed to take advantage of
it, for being suffered to reap the full advantage of
it.
I have tortured you so long, that now I have a
right to kill you, put you to death, murder you. In point of morality
then the cases are different there is a difference between the two cases: but in point the logic
of logic, they are the same.
